note to self: make better plans
Dec. 9th, 2010 03:21 pmso that was embarrassing. I thought I had a plan. It was clever in my head. Then I got in front of the teacher and sat down to read it out and realised that thing I had written there was to plans as a plot bunny is to a novel. So then I had a productive ten minute meeting where she tried to figure out what I meant when I didn't know what I meant and then suggested other questions my answer might be answering better than the question I had chosen.
I hate it when I have the stupids.
On the plus side I spent plenty time in the library sorting through books until I got four out, including one she said 'that's a good one' and another she suggested. so if I can actually read some book before I do this essay, as well as read the things on Blackboard, then I should have stuff in my brain that can make an essay.
... why so hard, essays?
my plan for the second essay, the one that's due January 4th instead of December 20th, is thus far 'Byron, Corsair, Orientalism'. Which I also had to say out loud.
Is good Teacher is an understanding sort of a person.
So after that tutorial and library bit I went past the camping supplies place on the way to the bus station and stopped in to buy two pairs thermal long under trousers. I forgot what they called themselves. But they're warm warm, apparently, and they're £20 for 2, and after all the walking around in the slip slide icy ouchy wind cold I decided that was a very good price for warm warm.
I do not like the ground at the moment. It is supposed to stay still. I realise technically ice does stay still and it's me that is moving, but it don't feel that way.
You know the weird thing? I spend all the time feeling I have the stupids, and yet I repeatedly get like 69% or 73% or something. Partly it's because my organisation is the kind that is not, so I spend a long time flailing before I get actual work done. But a large part has to be that I have no ability to evaluate my own work. That's very greatly unhelpful.
Hey, I survived the whole semester. Oh, and I remembered to pay for it today too. Big win.
Now I just have to pass the semester...
